Eisteddfod

Today we celebrated our Eisteddfod. We sang the song 'I Bob un sydd ffyddlon' and  recited the poem 'Sbwriel' on the stage. We created artwork in the style of Martyn Evans and held a handwriting competition on our poem 'Sbwriel'

Big Pit

Today we went to visit Big Pit in Blaenavon as part of our topic on coal. It was very cold and extremely windy when we got there but that didn't stop us from having fun. We looked around the museum at the machinery the miners used, saw the canaries in the lamp room and went into an interactive show which had loud bangs and noises. It was very informative and fun following the miner on the screen around the show. After lunch we went down the mine. We put on hats with torches and a heavy belt that had a battery and breathing apparatus. We went 90m down to the coalface and the miner took us through the mine showing us how they worked years ago. We are the right age to work the doors in the pitch black for 12 hours but we decided school is better!

Today, Year 4 celebrated all things Spanish in Ponty High School. We made frittatas, sang songs and created a conversation in front of a green screen. We had an amazing time with other schools and made new friends too!

Forces

For our science lesson we looked at Forces. We investigated different forms that Forces took and how it was used in different items. Predictions were made and then observed. Some forces came as a surprise to us when we observed them. The forces we investigated were:
Gravity, magnetic, electric, pushing, pulling, winding and twisting.
We really enjoyed the investigation!

Message in a Bottle

We went to a sunny (mostly) Barrybados where we created expressive beach art with natural beach materials in groups. The coastguard spoke to the children and allowed them to sit in the vehicle, turn the lights on and try on all the coast guarding equipment. 2 mysterious bottles with messages in were found by the children near the rocks. The children are learning and researching where the bottles came from in class. The children had a wonderful day.We
